BTW, I ran into a strange "bug" while creating this scene. The only way I
got it to render was with -UL. As you can imagine, each firefly is a
lightsource. There are about 100+ of them. The problem occurs when you don't
have -UL. First it reports an error "Slab building error" and then a box
comes out saying "Failed to allocate memory for message string.", when I
click "OK" it reports "Returned from render (non-zero return value)". If I
press the "Stop" button, then a message fills up the message pane really
quickly and it crashes, blaming it on kernel32.dll*. Is this bad?
